Items related to How the World Began
A provocative, intelligent, and deeply felt play from the author of Crooked and The Bridegroom of Blowing Rock, Catherine Trieschmann, that earned critical acclaim Off-Broadway at The Women's Project. A Manhattan woman travels to a rural town in Kansas recently devastated by a tornado to take a teaching job in a makeshift high school. But when she makes an off-handed remark regarding the origins of life, she unleashes community outrage and the particular distress of a disturbed young boy. In an intimate and artful inquiry of her character's very souls, Trieschmann invites audiences to consider their own beliefs and their perhaps unspoken opinions of others.

Review:
Catherine Trieschmann's gripping three-hander is very much in a tradition of American issue plays such as David Mamet's Oleanna and Rebecca Gilman's Spinning into Butter... The cleverness of this piece...is that its central drama is not about science versus creationism, but about faith and faithlessness, the gap between east-coast liberalism and small-town America, and about the way we dismiss other people's points of view. -- Lyn Gardner * Guardian * Faith and science collide in one small room, and sparks fly spectacularly in this drama by the American writer Catherine Trieschmann... The play is gripping, disturbing and relevant... Trieschmann's writing is taut and laced with irony. -- Sam Marlowe * The Times *
